"recorded
around during the the watch out! and shee-ro gateway sessions, comprised of
mirage colored beats and star encrusted keyboard solos. "in every moments
distance there can be, from a veranda, the captured outer galaxy's spherical
alignment, a mirage set alight by a shifting hold of the sun's peering, that
skirts across a clouded pattern, aboce prepared plateau to parallel the planet
triamas' terrain with that of our timeline's mirage. an event entertaining a
past relationship between two distant shere's evolution: a hallucination's
forecast of an outer beings' arrival...never released 35 minute cassette."pacific city sound visions

"dreamy, loop-driven passages of energy permeate the listener for this
two hour meditation. the brilliant vibrations have the tendency to
consume, heightening awareness. at times, one tends to get lost in the
swirling buoyancy radiating from the speakers. Sky Tree
is an apt title; above the clouds, where the perceptions are more
lucid, Tuluum's flowing benevolence begets sagacity. until I first heard
Tuluum Shimmering, I had not previously experienced anything similar. according to an interview,
a variety of instruments ~ kalimba, percussion, violin, flutes,
sampling keyboard ~ are run from a mixer through a multi-effects pedal
into a 30 second looper, and then out to an amp. across the discography,
their is a tendency to lose oneself in a malestrom of luminous
vibrations, a celebration of life. ever since arriving at the house, Sky Tree has been billowing faithfully much like my sacred indica ~ highly recommended." honest bag

"may the complex rhythms, supported by its troughs and troches, mend what you’re missing. It gives another half of what you need. gently, breezy, slightly elevated, languid, nonchalant, with you. for you.

recorded Spring 2013 in Stuttgart/Germany with a DIY modular synthesizer. mastered by Niko. inspired by childhood memories and Jack Kerouac's "Visions" novels.

"Scarfolk is a town in North West England that did not progress beyond
1979. Instead, the entire decade of the 1970s loops ad infinitum. Here
in Scarfolk, pagan rituals blend seamlessly with science; hauntology is a
compulsory subject at school, and everyone must be in bed by 8pm
because they are perpetually running a slight fever. "Visit Scarfolk
today. Our number one priority is keeping rabies at bay." scarfolk council

"Alpen Ocean is the final recording of Carole Kojo (Swiss) and Hitoshi Kojo (Japanese) that they left behind as Jüppala Kääpiö, whilst resident
in Switzerland. the sound sources are rather familiar instruments and materials for us
such as voices, handmade instruments, viola, organic materials and field
recordings. however, the style has evolved to a hybrid of our early
style: an intense harmonic drone music and another phase which might be termed as a cosmopolitan ethnic music. the overlaid harmonies of a murmuring of trees, howling skies, roarings
of the ocean and the gradual transformation that is accompanied by
melodies may remind you of migratory birds travelling across the sky on a
lost ancient continent, or the dream of sea animals that are in eternal
slumber in a ridge of mountains..."hitoshi kojo

"the highly promising Sacred Summits label debuts with a reissue of Luis Pérez's private-pressed cosmic obscurity, 'Ipan In Xiktli Metztli'.
Beautifully recorded in Mexico, 1981, it offers a mescaline-sharp vision
of deep grooving "cosmic ethnography" combining pre-Colombian
percussion and wind instruments with electric guitar, tape delay and
synths in free-roaming and extended suites. Perez's background in
well-known folk ensemble Huayucaltia evidently
feeds into this, one of only two known solo albums, but the key
descriptor is blatantly psychedelic.

the side opens with a pair of
concise, light-footed groovers, all rattlesnake shakers and melodic
percussive cadence rent upwards with astral wind instruments and richly
evocative nocturnal atmosphere, seemingly preparing us for two extended
trips coming off like a prime Jodorowsky soundtrack. the first,
'Etimología Del Nombre Mexico', projects ritualist prog grooves into a
haunting soundsphere of synth swirl and chant awash with tape delay and
riding the wave between lush ecstasy and abyssal darkness while the 2nd
suite, 'Al Culto Solar' peers further still with truly desolate,
shivering synth atmospheres pierced by a comforting voice which leads
further into the "other" side and a phantasmic array of patterned
basslines, demonic wail and utterly mind-blowing synth hallucinations.
serious stuff, treat with care for celestial rewards." boomkat
